Uh. Y-yeah. Right. B-because I was agreeing with you, sure! Nothing wrong with quasi-invincible space stations and dwarf planets with a faint-praise disadvantage of thermonuclear vulnerability that's soon going to be eliminated anyways, yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure, and having stable cold fusion's also okay, because, y'know, fits right into a space shuttle just fine with per-engine arrays of them, because it's SCARCE and TOTALLY NOT GOING INTO MASS PRODUCTION AND EARTH-POWER LEND-LEASE AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY, no, no, it's fine! I mean, I was going to have some silly thermoelectric-magnetic nuclear fission nonsense generators that run on tickling nuclear bomb's dickholes, so I'd be a hypocrite to interject, no, surely. I mean, it's always at risk of catastrophic meltdown and release of stellar-ass atomic rays if things go wrong, very much as advantaged and less disadvantaged to stable seemingly-cold fusion. That's good, and so are 'energy screens' completely unexplained even with silly mid-sci tier Kojima Particle junk science. I'm cool with, y'know, hitscan point defense that has entirely outstripped the previously-far-ahead sciences of missile design and making & delivering things to go boom, with weak defenses of 'but if you threw arbitrarily more conventional missiles they'd get through and do nothing and surely nukes could do no good unless half the warheads of most modern MIRV systems were launched of which we have had tens of thousands of which totally have ultra-bulky warheads and not roughly man-sized ones, which could not possibly miniaturize by post-WW4 2070.' I mean, the vibes of 'I'm totally going to hold the entire solar system hostage whether or not I get past the seemingly-crippling but actually likely to be quickly obsoleted disadvantage of resource shortages and if I do I'll just do it even harder' is probably just fallacious paranoia! Right? Yeah, yeah, right. Nothing wrong with bragging about getting biodome CITIES OF THE FUTURE built everywhere as a standard, outstripping Earth's capabilities of high-industry production, and a thinly-veiled-behind-reactionism desire for hijacking sovereign power's space colonies in blatant aggression because we MUST be conspiring against you, clearly, which is also why we're daring to poke at these entirely nonextant problems with your way of going about things in play, narrative, and overall pregame design! It's not like it's absolutely, completely and utterly uncompelling to see the narrative potentially reduced to space expansionism, resource dickery and Yeyland-Wutani execs blandly going on about necessities of nonnecessary dick actions that we will be told we couldn't possibly effectively respond to while eroding any environment for exploration of a potential future in 2070 with extremely heavy slant towards reactionary blocs in contrast to our present time of democratic-capitalist-militarist and vaguely national-theocratic, national-capitalist or national-communist ones, or in the social, economic and ideological troubles of living in said 2070 blocs, or even silly Metal Gear tier characters doing CUHRAYZEE things and engaging in long-winded but somewhat hilariously contrasting explorations of the former themes, in favor of bland few-paragraph descriptions of Biggus Dickus Maximus the Low Gravity But Also Paradoxically Huge Space Marine and his adventures of no-counterattack-space shuttle technology-denialist air strikes against old launch sites for reasons, eroding things even harder than the present massive expansionist blocs' trouble of getting right into the military nitty-gritty a bit too fast in my opinion, but not plot-endangeringly so. That's great, I like that! Very much to my taste! Just, no changes, we should clearly keep going, like this, full steam ahead. Stay the course. The present OOC shitstorm before I've even managed to get my first collab out for the Great American Clusterfuck and also including a hard-sci-fi someone who hasn't even put their application in yet is not at all a sign that you are doing ANYTHING wrong, in any respect of the writing, at all.i'm sorry
